Many students take their time choosing their major, but Camille Johnson ’21 knew that she wanted to major in anthropology before she even arrived at Trinity.

“I remember I wrote about discovering my love of anthropology in my college essay,” Camille recalls. “From a young age, I was obsessed with ancient Egypt and watched all sorts of documentaries, so I knew coming in that’s what I wanted to do.”

After working as a student researcher for Trinity’s Roots Commission, conducting archaeological fieldwork in Belize, and taking African American studies and history classes, Camile ended up majoring in anthropology and triple minoring in African American studies, history, and museum studies. Following her graduation from Trinity, she received her master’s degree in museum studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program.

“Trinity really encourages research, critical thinking, and coming to your own conclusions, so I think that helped me in grad school,” Camille says. 

In her current role as the assistant curator for the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures in Kansas City, Missouri, Camille has been able to channel her passion for African American studies and history.

“We’re getting ready for an exhibition that’s opening in the summer about Black dolls, which I’m very excited about,” Camille says. “Essentially, my role here is to help push our diversity initiatives forward. I’m helping rewrite some labels for our permanent exhibitions to reflect that, and I’m having an amazing time doing all of this and having my hands in a lot of different areas of the museum.”
